I have this u-lock locked with my bike and I can't get it out. Do you think this saw can also cut through metal?

No it is meant to cut wood. I would try a hacksaw with a metal cutting blade.

No. This saw is designed for wood. If you want to cut through metal you should consider buying a hacksaw designed for cutting through metal.

This saw will not cut metal. The steel its teeth are made from is not hard enough for cutting metal.

No. Don't plan on leaving your bike with this rack. I don't know of a way to lock it.

Its what is called a liner lock. If you look where the blade folds in you will see a thin metal piece that locks the blade open. Push it to the side and the blade should unlock

Yes, I purchased a locking pin from U-Haul and it was too big for the hole on the bike rack. The remedy was a set of CMT 9243 3-in-1 Titanium Plated HSS Steel Triangle Shank Step Down Drill Bits Set. Drill the rack until the hole is at a perfect width. You may want to spray a little high gloss black paint on the newly drilled holes to avoid rust.

I have to hit the locking mechanism against something hard because it is impossible to do by hand. It really makes me mad. I used a hammer on the locking mechanism once, just to get it off my olympic bar.

Maybe, but you have to depress the lockback and hold before putting closing pressure on the blade. Sometimes the lockback switch is stiff and it needs some oil and working in a number of times. I hope this solves the problem. This is a Great knife!!

This is a metal cutting saw. I would be afraid to cut wood with it. you should get a wood cutting saw

Yeah, if you have decent bolt cutters, you can get through any wire lock. That's why wire locks shouldn't be your primary defense against theft. As wire locks go, this is a pretty solid one, but at the end of the day it's not meant for heavy duty.

I don't think so. The ropes used in the pulley can be easily cut with scissors, and the pulleys themselves wouldn't fit bike locks, in my opinion.

No! it is like a Chain saw and has a feature where you have to pull a lever back with your thumb in order to depress the trigger. I would think a Trigger lock would be not very safe.

It depends on whether you need to make a loop with the chain itself or plan to use an additional u bar lock thru the frame, etc. I do the latter and it works great -- I have a Vespa and lock it thru a steel lock eyelet on the underside of the frame and then run the chain to a fence, signpost, whatever when I'm in a theft-y area.

Although I have no experience in this area I would say the hard plastic tire on the wheels would probably be damaged if you cut metal with this saw. I personally woujld not cut metal with my bandsaw.

Good quality bolt cutters operated by a strong person can get through this. This cable should not be the primary means of security for your bike. You should have a thick U lock for that and put it through the triangle on the rear wheel. This cable is just for the front tire and helmet.

I pretty much had the same experience with others that have responded. The metal plate that stabilizes the hole saw broke after 4 cuts. You will be much better off spending more money on a better one.

This saw uses a hack saw blade. Most hack saw blades are made with small teeth for cutting metal. I have used my saw to cut through nails. I would be confident that it would cut through all but the most hardened metals. So it should cut through your screws unless they had been hardened to make them more tamper proof.

Yes. The lock bar is 4 inch long and the U bar is double size. It's a heavy u lock but really good. I would call it medium size (some ulocks are very small, you can only lock the wheel; some larger/ longer). This one you can lock your wheel and the frame to the bike rack. But if the bike rack or pole is really thick , you may be locking the wheel only.

Alas, I am not Mr. Grimm nor am I in his employment. I am just a user of this product like you. My copy of this pruner opens with a 'snick' when I slide the lock. Just now I took a close look at the mechanism: there is a sort of 'hook' that the slider engages to hold the shears closed. I lubricate this area and the hinge for the jaws once in a while and that is one way to help. Another way is to apply a bit of gentle downward pressure on the upper handle (squeeze the handles gently) while sliding the lock bar back. That also is safe and effective for releasing the ratchet.
